FACTS YOU SHOULD KNOW...BEFORE YOU BUY.
OFF-THE-SHELF ITEMS
As you know, a lot of the off-the-shelf spy camera items are made in China. Except for the very few, their main goal is still the low production cost. We have been testing out many samples from them and 90% of the items do not make it to our site because of poor quality. Most of them works as indicated but in many cases the manufacturers could have spent few more dollars in making and make it 100% better, but their mentality is different. If you do not see an item on our site that is widely being marketed today, it's not because we are not aware of the item rather it's because it did not meet our expectation. We simply do not carry junk because it's not fair for you.
CUSTOM MADE ITEMS
Nanny (hidden) cameras such as clock radio camera are custom made here in USA or made in bulk in China. Once again, the Chinese manufacturer do not fully understand our culture & style and they make it in an extremely cheesy housing with questionable video quality. So we have been assembling the nanny cameras here in our shop with best of the components. You will see there are many hidden cameras that that are not found in other sites. We have made thousands of nanny cameras over 10 years.
SAME BUT DIFFERENT QUALITY?
Asian manufacturers often buy a housing for a product from one company who distribute to many manufacturers. This is to keep the cost down but also means that two products may look the same but it does not mean that it will be the same quality e.g: pen cameras . Also when the manufacturer come out with newer generation of the same product, they still use the same housing. So you can never be sure about what you are actually getting.
EXAMPLE
One of the popular item is a self recording spy pen camera. You will
see video clips all over in YouTube. Here are some videos samples:
Sample 1, Sample 2. Sample1 is just flat out terrible, but it is 640 X
480 VGA resolution and they are sold as high resolution. High
resolution does not mean anything if the source, the camera sensor is
low quality (300K pixel). Sample 2 looks decent but the video size is
small, it's recording capability is only CGA, 320 X 240. The point is
that many imported items might be the same outside, but often
different inside.
Pen cameras we carry are equipped with 3rd or 4th generation 1.0 & 2.0
Mega Pixel camera sensor with 640 X 480 recording resolution. Sample 2, Sample 3. All our sample videos are not simulations, these are
actually taken by the actual cameras.
